Here's a description of the volume from the book page at Oxford University Press:

Christians and
the Color Line
analyzes the complex entanglement of race and religion in the United States. Drawing
on historical and contemporary examples of racialized religion, the essays in
this volume consider the problem of race both in Christian congregations and in
American society as a whole.

Belying
the notion that a post-racial America has arrived, congregations in the US are
showing an unprecedented degree of interest in overcoming the deep racial
divisions that exist within American Protestantism.In one recent poll, for instance, nearly 70%
of church leaders expressed a strong desire for their congregations to become
racially and culturally diverse.To
date, reality has eluded this professed desire as fewer than 10% of American
Protestant churches have actually achieved multiracial status.

Employing
innovative research from sociology, history, philosophy, and religious studies,
the contributors to this volume use Michael Emerson and Christian Smith’s
groundbreaking study Divided by Faith (Oxford,
2000)as their starting point to
acknowledge important historical, sociological, and theological causations for
racial divisions in Christian communities. Collectively, however, these
scholars also offer constructive steps that Christians of all races might take
to overcome the color line and usher in a new era of cross-racial
engagement.

Rusty and I collaborated across disciplinary lines with wonderful scholars and some great people. We are grateful to Michael Emerson for writing the Foreword and to Darryl Scriven for composing an insightful Theological Afterword for the volume.
